Bach Chorales (Four Part Harmonisation)

Cards in this deck (8)

  1. 13-2-1 Pattern (Make Four Important Points)- You can use a passing seventh, but you need to dot it to avoid parallel fifths
    - You can use a iib as an approach to IC
    - You can add a 4-3 suspension to the V in quavers, but shouldn't be done unless confident
    - Passing note is vital for Ib-V-I bassline
  2. 23-2-1 Pattern Basslines (Compose Two)3-2-1 Pattern Basslines (Compose Two)
  3. 32-2-1 Pattern (Make Five Important Points)- Suspensions, either the seventh of ii7b or the 4 of the V4-3, need prep and resolving in the same part
    - Suspended note will be the tonic of cadence key
    - You can use a passing seventh
    - Ib and vi are good approaches for ii7b
    - If approaching ii7b from vi and the preparation note is already in the bass, the third can be doubled
  4. 42-2-1 Pattern Basslines (Compose Two)2-2-1 Pattern Basslines (Compose Two)
  5. 58-7-8 Patterns (Make Five Important Points)- If melodic pattern is not 8-8-7-8, a IC should be used

    - Suspensions, either seventh of ii7b or the 4 of the V4-2, need prep and resolving in the soprano part
    - Ib and vi are approaches for ii7b
    - iib without a seventh is an approach to IC
  6. 68-7-8 Pattern Basslines (Compose Three)8-7-8 Pattern Basslines (Compose Three)
  7. 76-7-8 Patterns (Make Three Important Points)- viib-I is too weak a progression, but it should be preferred
